One can’t help but ponder whether MSNBC is veering into the realm of comedy rather than serious news reporting.
This week, host Symone Sanders, who previously served in the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Vice President Kamala Harris, made a rather curious assertion: she implied that the true decision-maker in the Trump White House remains a mystery, suggesting Trump himself is not in command.

This serves as a stark reminder that the media landscape has seemingly learned little in recent months. Their credibility appears to be in a downward spiral, and the unsettling reality is that they seem unfazed by it.
